This is our day of reconfiguration, where the mist has wiped the sea from the very face of the earth and the sun is swaddled far from the reach of human eye...

In this book, Andrew Fusek Peters describes an extraordinary year of wild swimming. He leads us to rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and hidden pools, into wild waters and untamed landscapes that have the potential to surprise and move us in unexpected ways. Following in the wake of great writers such as Richard Jeffries and Edward Thomas, this book combines meditations on place, history, and myth with sharp observation and a poet's eye. It is also a personal journey: swimming through all four seasons, Andrew Fusek Peters surfaces at last from deep depression. Lyrical, honest, and incisive, is about the many ways in which immersing ourselves in the elements can restore us to ourselves.

Industry Reviews

Acknowledging the influence of Roger Deakins's pioneering book Waterlog, Peters has written an account that is much more personal but no less wise. Among the current crop of British nature writers, he deserves a prominent place. -- Piers Moore Ede * TLS *
A poetic book...beautiful [and] a thoroughly human story -- Matt Haig * The Independent *
Dip tells of a total immersion in Nature, a courageous trust in its restorative powers and an authentic experience of the wild -- Paul Evans, Guardian Country Diarist
Beautiful, lyrical, beguiling and enchanting - a powerful testament to the healing powers of Nature -- Daniel Start, author of Wild Swimming
Poignant -- You Magazine * You Magazine *
